28. For You save lowly people, but haughty eyes You humble.
29. For You light up my lamp. Adonai my God shines in my darkness.
30. For with You I rush on a troop, with my God I scale a wall.
31. As for God, His way is perfect. The word of Adonai is pure. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32. For who is God, except Adonai? And who is a Rock, except our God?
33. God girds me with strength and makes my way straight.
34. He makes my feet like those of deer and makes me stand on my heights.
35. He trains my hands for battle, so my arms can bend a bronze bow.
36. You gave me the shield of Your salvation. Your right hand upholds me, Your gentleness makes me great.
37. You broaden my steps beneath me, so my ankles have not slipped.
38. I pursue my enemies and overtake them, and will not return till they are wiped out.
39. I will crush them till they cannot rise, till they fall beneath my feet.
40. For You girded me with strength for battle. You made those who rose up against me bow down before me.
41. You also made my enemies turn their backs to me. I cut off those who hate me.
42. They cry out, but there is none to save —even to Adonai, but He did not answer them.
43. Then I beat them as fine as dust before the wind. I pour them out like mud in the streets.
44. You free me from strifes of the people. You set me as head of the nations— people I did not know are serving me.
45. As soon as they hear, they obey me. Children of foreigners cringe before me.
